The personnel at ICS are highly experienced in assisting our clients to effectively identify individuals, groups and entities at the source of counterfeit crimes.

We have worked in all industries that have issues with counterfeiters or infringers including tobacco, apparel, white goods, household goods, alcohol and spirits, perfumes and cosmetics, automotive, toys, software and music.

When conducting anti-counterfeiting investigations our strategies can involve the following:

• Identifying the supply chain from the end seller to the source, to gather evidence to expose the manufacturers to legal or other remedies.
• We make trap purchases or obtain samples together with offers to supply to use as evidence.
• We can set up various front companies that we use to make covert trade approaches.
• We can conduct market surveys to highlight specific problems in the market place.
• We have commissioned forensic analysis of products and packaging to assist with investigations.
• We will provide evidence for seizure and destruction orders of infringing products.
• We can assist the client with choosing and liasing with local lawyers in difficult territories where they do not usually have any IP expertise.
